Angelica Jane Yap (left) is better known as Pastillas Girl in It's Showtime; Eat Bulaga's AlDub loveteam—composed of Alden Richards and Yaya Dub (played by Maine Mendoza)—were overjoyed when it was announced that they can finally go on a date. The September 17 AlDub date announcement made it to Top 10 ratings for 2015.

Here are the highlights of the comparative ratings of GMA-7, ABS-CBN and TV5 programs from September 14-18, 2015, according to AGB Nielsen Philippines from Mega Manila households.

It’s Showtime has finally scored two-digit ratings, after more than three weeks of getting single-digit numbers from Monday to Friday.

It’s Showtime’s last double-digit rating was 10% on August 27. Since then, ABS-CBN’s noontime show only got TV ratings that are less than 10%, which are only about one-fourth the ratings of GMA-7’s Eat Bulaga.

The September 15 episode of ABS-CBN’s noontime show got 11%. The episode is the fourth that featured Angelica Jane Yap, more popularly known as Pastillas Girl. The September 16, 17, and 18 episodes also got ratings that are higher than 10%.

In fact, Eat Bulaga’s September 17 and 18 episodes are now included in the Top 10 highest ratings for 2015 at eighth and ninth place.

The highlight of the September 17 episode of Eat Bulaga was the announcement of Lola Nidora (played by Wally Bayola) that Alden can go on a date with Yaya Dub.

The following day, Day 56 of EB’s Kalye-Serye, featured the preparations of Yaya Dub for her date with Alden Richards that coming Saturday.
